To register for BP26 Translation Conference, select the type of ticket on this page.

Click on ‘Add to Cart’ under the items you wish to buy, then click on the blue ‘View cart’ link that appears next to this button.

Click through the Cart page to open the Checkout page.  Here, you should enter your billing details.  At the bottom of the page, select your preferred method of payment.

For bank and Wise transfers, enter the 5-digit order number in the comment field (starting with 6).  DO NOT enter your name or the items you purchased.

There’s no physical ticket, and there’s no QR code.

Once your payment arrives, you’ll receive an invoice, and we’ll keep track of all purchases, so we’ll know who bought a ticket.

You may need to produce an ID card at the event when picking up your badge and conference bag.

Since 2020, educational events are taxed at the reduced VAT rate (10%) in France — as long as no alcohol is consumed. 

For this reason, you need to buy a ‘Wine supplement’ as a separate item, taxed at 20% VAT, if you wish to drink wine/beer at the dinners.

In line with article 53 of the European Union’s VAT directive, the place of delivery of in-person events is the country where the event takes place.  

Also, the reverse charge mechanism cannot be applied for events, which means that you must pay VAT even if you purchase your ticket as a company.

The good news is that you can claim back this VAT amount if your company has an EU VAT number.   (Unfortunately you won’t be able to claim back if you’re outside the EU.)

You can claim back the VAT amount if  your company is based in the EU (but not in France) and you have a valid EU VAT number.

• You’ll need to apply for a refund at your country’s tax authority
• Minimum amount that can be refunded: 50€
• Submit the request between 1 January and 30 September 2027
• Ask your accountant for details
• This is one possible prompt on ChatGPT to get an idea:  “My company is registered in Germany, and I have an EU VAT number. I’ll participate at a conference in France, for which I need to pay VAT on top of the ticket’s net price. How can I claim back the VAT amount?”

Companies outside the EU can also claim back VAT, but they need to appoint a French fiscal representative, which costs much more than the amount of VAT on your ticket.

If you’re an individual, you cannot claim back VAT 🙁    Perhaps team up with a colleague who can claim back VAT, and buy your tickets together.

Contact us for more details.

We will have three workshops at BP26.

One of them, ‘How to build a boutique translation agency in times of AI’ by Herman Boel, will take place on 21 April during normal conference hours, and is included in all conference tickets.

The other two workshops (‘Technology for translators’ by Carlos la Orden Tovar and ‘The AI playbook for translators’ by Marta Mamet-Michalkiewicz) will take place on 20 April, and will be available for separate tickets (i.e. thy are not included in the conference tickets).

The current Early Bird price is valid for the first 10 tickets at each workshop.  This price is 70€ if you buy it together with a conference ticket, or 90€ if you wish to attend the workshop only.

Buying a ticket to either one of the workshops will also grants you access to the online edition of the same workshop, including its recording.

The ‘VIP’ ticket includes one workshop, as well as access to the online edition of both workshops.  If you buy a VIP ticket and wish to attend both workshops in person, you can add the second workshop at a 50% discount.

Both dinners are included in the Premium/LSP/VIP tickets.

Spouses/guests are welcome: simply add their stand-alone dinner tickets to your cart. 

The price is 45€/65€ if you buy a dinner ticket together with a conference ticket. (This price is also valid if you add a dinner ticket later.)

Dinners cost 65€/85€ if you don’t attend the conference itself.

Dinner tickets are taxed at 10% VAT, but do not include beer/wine consumption.   

If you wish to drink alcohol, please add a ‘Wine supplement’ ticket (20% VAT). The net price increases only by 5€ per dinner.

If you wish to drink liquors/cocktails, buy them individually at the bar.

If you choose bank transfer, your cart total will be reduced by 1%.

Please mention your 5-digit order number in the comment field (and don’t mention the product purchased, it’s not necessary).

30€ discount for each person if at least 3 people buy tickets on the same invoice (contact us before registration).

BP Translation Conferences have a reputation of bringing people together.  We put a special emphasis on welcoming first-time attendees.

Our networking dinners are highly popular, with over 70% attending both the welcome reception and the gala dinner.

The majority of first-timers usually integrate easily into the conference crowd.

We usually have a networking game to facilitate mingling, and you can also use the conference app to connect with fellow attendees.

A preliminary programme is already available on the Programme page.

20 April:  workshops + welcome reception (from 19:00)

21 April: conference day (9:00 to 17:00) + gala dinner (19:00 to 23:00)

22 April: conference day (9:30 to 17:00)

All conference sessions and workshops will take place at Hotel Novotel Centre (20 Bd Saint-Roch, 84000 Avignon)

All conference rooms are located on the first floor, accessible by elevator or stairs.

BP26 attendees get a special rate at the hotel (see above under ‘The Venue’ section).

Tthe hotel also boasts a swimming pool, but it is not sure yet if it will be open during our conference.

Staying at the conference hotel  allows you to spend more time with fellow attendees, either at the bar or during breakfast.

Then again, staying at other hotels nearby wil probably cost less — see our recommendations above.

For all our online events, we use geographically differentiated pricing, making it more affordable to attend for colleagues in lower income countries.

For example, people in Romania pay less than in Germany; people in Argentina pay less than in Spain; and so on.

Prices shown on this page are the highest ones.  The price payable in your country will be shown on the Checkout page.

Note: if the country based on your IP address does not match the country based on your billing address, you’ll receive an error message.

(For example, if your billing address is in France, but you’re currently on holiday in Morocco.)

For best results, buy your ticket in your home country — or send us a message with your billing address and the type of ticket you’d like to buy, and we’ll issue an invoice manually.

You can buy the ticket of your choice on this page, above.   

You will receive the necessary access information 3 weeks before the online edition, and you’ll also receive reminder emails.

If you buy a Remote Premium or Remote VIP ticket, you’ll also have access to the event app, available from about mid-February.

You’ll be able to sign up for free access. This will cover a single track, with probably 3-4 sessions.

More details, including the actual tracks, will be available from March.

In the meantime, it’s a good idea to sign up to our mailing list.

Remote attenance at online events is considered a digital service, and is taxed as such.

If you’re from the EU, with a VAT number:

• You’ll pay the net amount, following the reverse charge VAT mechanism

If you’re from the EU, without a VAT number:

• You’ll pay your local VAT on top of the net price (e.g. 20% in France, 23% in Italy, etc.)

I you’re from Hungary:

• you’ll need to pay Hungarian VAT

If you’re from outside the EU, and you purchase as a company:

• You’ll pay only the net amount

If you’re from outside the EU, and you purchase as an individual:

• you’ll need to pay Hungarian VAT
